The chair told the board that the resignation was submitted to the board's counsel around 4:20 p.m. on April 10 and that the board accepted it immediately. \"We as the Board accepted immediately,\" the chair said during remarks at the start of the April 14 meeting.

The chair said the vacancy will be filled by appointment under North Carolina law. The board cited North Carolina General Statute 115C-37(f) as the legal authority governing the process to fill a vacant school board seat; the chair said the remaining board members will appoint a person to serve the remainder of Carroll's term \"until the next selection.\" Additional information about the selection process will be shared at a later date, the chair said.

The chair also reported that Mr. Hunt, the board's legal counsel, had been in communication with Carroll's legal counsel after a wreck was reported on the evening of April 9 in the Silver Valley area. The chair said the board was made aware of the wreck on the morning of April 10 and that Mr. Hunt received Carroll's resignation through counsel later that day.

No motion or vote to accept the resignation is recorded in the transcript excerpt; the chair described the board as having accepted the resignation immediately. The board did not provide further details about a timeline for applications or interviews for the vacant seat in the portion of the meeting recorded in the transcript.

The announcement occurred at the meeting's opening remarks; the board moved shortly thereafter to address matters it described as confidential and to consult its attorney in closed session.","At its April 14 meeting the Davidson County Board of Education said it had accepted the immediate resignation of member Ashley Carroll, received April 10, and said the board will fill the vacancy by appointment under North Carolina law.","actionData","errors"]
